Lucinda PaschalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience working with Utah Leak Locate and Plumbing Utah. We've had a small water leak in our front yard from our irrigation or the water main for some time that we were unable to diagnose and repair ourselves. I called Utah Leak Locate after reading many awesome reviews and Brandon, the owner, came out within the hour and immediately diagnosed the problem out front and a bigger problem we didn't even know we had with our water heater inside. The water heater was old and cracked due to a faulty pressure reducer valve. I really hadn't noticed the water on the floor since it's not an area we regularly enter. He offered a reasonable price for all the work so we opted to update to a tankless water heater and replace the water main rather than do a patch job. A crew from Plumbing Utah showed up the very next day and diligently worked on the repairs. Shane leads the excavation team and he was very professional keeping us informed as the day progressed. The water main took a little extra time due to the huge amount of rock in this area which required heavy equipment, but the workers were courteous and efficient and spent a lot of time replacing the sod and cleaning the yard up. Shane and the crew even power washed the driveway to remove all traces of the work they had been doing. We STRONGLY recommend this excellent company.

They found the problem and completed a major repair on my sprinkling system promptly and professionally. I was so impressed with them that when I had another leak (this time in my water main) I immediately contacted them again. The peace of mind that I had knowing that they would take care of me is priceless. I will always use this company for any water/plumbing issues in the future because I know they will take care of me. I cannot say enough good things about them!! B Scott SatterfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a top quality group. They do top notch work and are fast. I have had them do two jobs for me in the last two months ... and can witness that their work is very high quality. The owner, Brandon, is a great follow through manager making sure everything is correctly done, and the customer is satisfied. I had a little issue with the price on one of the projects they did for me. Brandon got a hold of me and reviewed the problem and promptly made it right. I recommend them highly. If you have a plumbing need ... give them a call. They will be quick to respond, will do a great job and Brandon will make sure everything is done to the customer's satisfaction. They also guarantee their work. You just can't go wrong with this group.
Without a functioning water softener, the heavy mineral content in South Valley water systems can cause thousands of dollars in hidden damage to your home. You need a water softener if you are experiencing:
Every home’s water usage is different, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all installations. We evaluate your household’s specific water consumption and pipe sizing to deliver the perfect system.
How hard is the water in Sandy, Midvale, and West Jordan? Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (GPG). Anything over 7 GPG is considered “hard.” The municipal water in the Salt Lake Valley frequently tests between 12 and 18 GPG, making it “extremely hard.” A dedicated water softener is highly recommended to protect your plumbing infrastructure.
What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter? A water softener specifically targets and removes hard minerals (calcium and magnesium) through an ion exchange process, preventing scale buildup. A water filtration system (like reverse osmosis) removes chemical contaminants, chlorine, and sediment to improve the taste and safety of your drinking water. We install both!
How often does a water softener need maintenance? You should check your brine tank once a month to ensure it has enough salt and that no “salt bridge” (a hard crust) has formed on the water. The internal resin bed typically lasts 10 to 15 years before it loses its ability to soften water, at which point it needs to be replaced by a professional plumber.
